Abstract

Legal regulation and international standards used to regulate activities in the field of AI are becoming an important task for states. The use of artificial intelligence in the legal field is divided into four categories according to the impact on social systems, depending on the level of risk. Unacceptable is the risk, for example, mass surveillance without consent. Medicine, transport, education and the judicial system are considered to be at high risk. Chatbots and recommendation systems are considered to be at limited risk. Games and image recognition programs have minimal risk of using AI. Different levels of control and responsibility are provided for each category.
Ukraine is also forming a legal framework, in particular, the Concept of Artificial Intelligence Development has been approved. A National Strategy on AI is being developed, which takes into account the requirements of European legislation. The main tasks are harmonization with EU law and the creation of supervisory bodies and the implementation of ethical standards.
Social responsibility and education in this area are an important component of the safe development of AI within society. Without citizens’ understanding of technology, even the best regulations will not be effective. In this direction, it is necessary to introduce educational programs in schools and universities that should teach the basics of AI, its capabilities and risks.
In the theoretical aspect of this development, we note that artificial intelligence is used as a powerful tool that can change the world. However, its development is accompanied by risks that require careful control. Ukraine, as a state that seeks integration into the EU and is at war, has a particularly acute need to implement ethical, legal and technical standards for the use of AI.
In the practical aspect, the significance of this study is manifested in the fact that ensuring security and responsible use of AI is possible only if such elements as technical stability and controllability are combined. Along with this, ethical principles and protection of human rights, legal regulation based on international norms, educational and outreach work with citizens, and a balance between innovation and security are required. Thus, the future of artificial intelligence in Ukraine depends on how successfully it will be possible to combine the development of technologies with the protection of humans and society.
